Yeah, it only seems fair to borrow another persons car, but never let them borrow yours. Pay up and you win. If I had one I would not allow any of you to freely use the machine without paying something that covers cost. - Electricity is not free. - Electromigration accrues. Who is gong to pay for wear and tear to PCBs, capacitors, diodes, transistors? - Insurance does not normally cover unqualified personnel. Approach whomever has a XRF and offer money. Don't expect $50 to cover you. Better off doing bulk in one go.
im happy to waste goldbuyers and the like's time and acid without advantage to them. but i would still pay for XRF testing especially if they gave printed readouts or summerys. my question was looking for people that would test without wanting your metal
LTEK4NZ, try something like a lab, tafe, university, any company associated with mining or Gina Rinehart.
